I hope someone can help me out here. I picked up this mag for an arthouse cinema here in the country, and they were advertising a Sci-Fi night in which one of the movies was an anime. Seemed to be about a world where androids exist as slaves to humans. One man finds an entry in his androids log about something called Eden, and traces it back to a bar where humans and androids aren't discriminated against. I think Eden was in the title and if I remember, it looks like it was just released last year.

Questions to K-On! lovers/fans, or people who just are knowledgable about it. Does K-On! ever release something like a music lesson thing? like a Learn guitar, bass guitar, drums, keyboard lessons. CDs, DVDs, books, etc.
thing is, my sis and I both bought a guitars recently and wanted to learn how to play the fun way. K-On! was a fun anime also partly inspired me to learn. others were J-rock/music in general, bands like L'Arc~en~Ciel, which did theme songs for great animes like Driver's High, GTO; Ready Steady Go, Fullmetal Alechemist; Daybreak's Bell, Gundam 00. Another inspiration was Detroit Metal City, GO TO DMC! which made a cameo in K-On! haha! K-ON! go's to DMC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PaawGNNKsVc#normal)
anyway, just want to learn the K-On! way if possible.

J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot is Bringing Samurai Jack to the Big Screen?
Yea, you read that right. Hidden in an article on the Frederator Films blog (via Screen Rant) was an update about a Samurai Jack movie in development. But it might not be exactly what you're thinking. Years ago, New Line Cinema picked up the rights to Jack to make both an animated movie and a live-action movie, but that all fell apart. Now apparently the rights have ended up in the hands of none other than J.J. Abrams who is developing a feature animated movie that will combine traditional 2D animation with stereoscopic 3D. Sorry, it's not live-action. It's not in production yet, but it does sound like this one will actually happen.
The news comes hidden in a post written by Fred Seibert, former head of Hanna-Barbera and current head of Frederator Films, where he reports that Frederator had been granted the rights to an animated movie "as long as we agreed that Genndy would be intimately involved." Genndy Tartakovsky being the creator of Samurai Jack. So he had lunch with Genndy and got him on-board. "Here was the chance to finish what he'd started, and reclaim a special set of characters he'd created." The deals took forever to close, but in the end they got J.J. Abrams, a "huge Jack fan", to help co-produce via his Bad Robot along with Bryan Burk.
For those that don't know, Samurai Jack was an incredibly popular cartoon series that showed on Cartoon Network from 2001 to 2004. The plots of individual episodes range from dark and epic to light-hearted and comic, but typically follow Jack in his singular quest to find a method of traveling back in time. Many of the battle scenes in the series are reminiscent of samurai films, and since Jack's robotic enemies "bleed" oil or electricity and monsters/aliens bleed slime or goo, the series is able to exhibit the action of these films while avoiding censorship for violence. It's all very early, but this should be exciting news for Samurai Jack fans.

Mamoru Oshii Developing a Live-Action Tetsujin 28 Movie
Anime and manga fans should be excited by this news. Anime News Network (via SlashFilm) is reporting that acclaimed Japanese director Mamoru Oshii (of Ghost in the Shell and The Sky Crawlers animes) is directing a live-action version of the Tetsujin 28-go manga. I'm guessing that most Americans don't know anything about Tetsujin 28-go, but it's one of the most popular and beloved mangas in Japanese history. The story is about a three-stories-tall giant remote controlled robot named Tetsujin 28 that also "inspired" the 1964 anime series Gigantor. Most people will probably recognize the Tetsujin 28 design seen above.
Imagi Animation, the studio behind TMNT and Astro Boy, is also developing a Gigantor CGI movie called T28 (which is a shortened version of the Tetsujin 28 title). You can see an early teaser trailer for that right here. As I mentioned earlier, Tetsujin 28 is very popular, and now we're going to see a live-action version, too. The ANN doesn't say much else about the project besides that Mamoru Oshii directed a stage version of Tetsujin 28 that featured a 1,100 pound, 20-foot-tall replica of the robot. And they unveiled a 59-foot-tall statue in Kobe, Japan earlier this year. I'd love to see him fighting live-action, it could be pretty awesome.
Tetsujin 28-go is a Japanese manga first published in 1956 written and illustrated by Mitsuteru Yokoyama, who also created Giant Robo. The series centred on the adventures of a young boy named Shotaro Kaneda, who controlled a giant robot named Tetsujin 28, built by his late father. I'm not too familiar with Tetsujin 28-go or Gigantor, but I am interested in seeing this project come together. I'm a big anime fan and I love the robot design and would love to see this as live-action. I'm just wondering if Oshii will get a big enough budget to actually make this look good? They've got a long way to go if they want to live up to ILM's robots.

Anime decade: From 'Japan Cool' to 'cooling off'
Matt Alt asks, how did Japan's national artistic treasure -- animation -- go from boom to bust during the first decade of the 21st century?
I will admit it: I was a teenaged anime fanatic. Encounters with anime classics in the 1970s and 1980s ignited a fascination with Japanese language and culture that drew me to the country, first as a tourist, then as a student and now as a resident. This personal journey makes reading -- and writing about -- the industry's recent stumbles all the more poignant.
I was surprised and shocked to witness the rise of anime in the 1990s, and now I feel those same emotions again as I watch it collapse in slow motion. Truly, the early 2000s timeline reads like the plot of an epic novel with an appropriately apocalyptic anime ending.
Here is a timeline of the last decade's greatest developments in anime.
2000: Thanks to a string of international successes in the mid-1990s, including hits like "Pokémon," "Gundam Wing," "Dragonball," and "Sailor Moon," Japan's anime industry finds itself enjoying unprecedented success both domestically and abroad. The majority of shows created for male anime fans are sci-fi epics, many featuring heroes piloting giant robots or protagonists who are robots themselves.
2001: American journalist Douglas McGray dubs Japan "a cultural superpower," while coining the phrase "gross national cool" to describe the outsized influence of Japanese entertainment. "Cowboy Bebop," a hip sci-fi series about bounty hunters in space, debuts on the US Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, creating new legions of foreign anime fans.
2002: Hayao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away" wins an Academy Award for Best Animated Feature, the first time the American film industry so recognizes an anime.
2003: The Wachovski Brothers commission a series of nine anime short films based on their smash-hit Matrix films. Dubbed "The Animatrix," it becomes one of the top selling anime titles abroad that year. Meanwhile, Quentin Tarantino incorporates a flashy anime sequence into "Kill Bill, Vol. 1."
2005: Just as foreign audiences are warming up to the idea that animated fare isn't just for kids, Japan's anime industry throws them a curve ball. The success of the novel and television series "Densha Otoko" -- an alleged "true story" about an otaku who gets up the nerve to ask out a "normal" woman he encounters on the train during his daily commute -- legitimizes and empowers the local otaku community. This in turn leads to more and more animated series aimed squarely at their demographic. Because said demographic consists almost entirely of eternally single, socially awkward men, their tastes tend towards wish-fulfillment fantasy plots starring beautiful young lolitas -- who are willing to hang out with eternally single, socially awkward men. This fetishization of girlish naiveté and innocence is known as "moé," and it will dictate the industry's path for the remainder of the decade. Critics, however, believe that the development will potentially hamper Japan's ability to export anime, as the moé concept comes across as utterly creepy to most foreign audiences.
2006: The industry achieves peak revenues of ¥241.5 billion per year. More animated fare is being created than ever before. In spite of this apparent success, it becomes public that a third of people working in the anime industry make less than ¥1 million a year -- a poverty-level wage.
2007 - 2008: The first visible cracks appear in anime's hip facade. An overabundance of anime made purely for anime fans (rather than for the traditional demographic of children and teenagers) knocks down the average profits per title as hastily-animated niche productions flood the market. Anonymous complaints from industry insiders incensed at atrocious pay and working conditions continue to mount. More and more of the basic work needed to train the next generation, such as "in-betweeing" (the grunt work of animating the many intermediate cels between the key frames) is farmed out to second- and even third-world countries -- including by some reports, North Korea. This results in a serious hollowing out of the industry's future talent pool. Meanwhile in the United States, the number of anime shows airing in the television marketplace drops dramatically.
2009: The types of anime shows popular among Japanese and foreign fans continues to diverge. The most buzz-worthy domestic fare are super-niche moé and lolicon shows brimming with inside jokes and anime stereotypes that few other than dyed-in-the-wool otaku can decipher. In Japan, a poll conducted by the otaku matchmaking service Otakuma reveals that four out of five of the top shows watched by female anime fans are about giant robots, while four out of five of the top shows watched by male anime fans are about little girls.
While anime created for kids is on the wane, the debut of a life-sized, 18-meter tall life-sized version of the iconic 1970s robot hero Mobile Suit Gundam in a Tokyo park is greeted by some four million nostalgic fans over the course of its display. Many are grown fans who bring their children to see the thirty year old character. Meanwhile, in a Japanese radio interview, director Mamoru Oshii publicly admits that he was forced to use computers to animate his latest film "Sky Crawlers," because there simply "aren't enough animators out there to let us do everything hand-drawn. They're not around anymore." The general feeling is that Japan may not be able to sustain its anime industry in the coming years. What will the second decade of the 21st century have in store for this Japanese pop art form? Check back with CNNGo in 2020, and we'll let you know.

From the teenagers I teach, the majority of the girls are into the male action shows: Bleach, Reborn etc, but certainly not giant robots. The boys are still largely into the "monster" genre, things like Monster Hunter and even Pokemon are still popular amongst my 15 year old nerds :grin: Guess they need a few more years before they descend into little girl anime :(

I've been thinking about the same thing that article is on about myself lately. Ever since actually moving to Japan, I've been watching less and less anime, and I was wandering why that was. It's all around me now, I have an anime-dedicated channel (amongst anime on regular channels), I live a three minute walk from the nearest entirely manga/anime dedicated shop. Yet I very, very rarely read or watch anything these days. Not to say I don't, but a whole lot less than usual.
Is it growing up? Or is it, as the article suggests, that more and more anime is just being targetted to those very specific otaku and no one else? I'd like to think the second, because if all my toys and other nerdy crap are anything to go by, I don't think growing up is the problem! There seems to be less and less awesome, original anime and more and more stuff that just repeats the last terrible show because it already has a built-in fanbase that comes with money.
I miss the old days when there was so much discovery to be had.
Title: Re: The Anime/Cartoons & Comics Postwhoring Thread
Post by: Aioros on January 03, 2010, 04:50:29 AM
Growing up must be a part of it since I've been through that phase too. Also, maybe because my attention span got lower as I got older. :lol:
I was pretty much addicted to anime high-school going to college but after graduating I barely had time to read manga or watch any new shows, but I still try to follow some of the series that I have really liked (Gundam, Hajime no Ippo, Detective Conan). I think Lucky Star has been one of the most enjoyable shows I've watched since I could easily relate to the jokes. I started watching Haruhi before but I found it confusing. :nervous
Back in the days, anime could turn non-fans into fans. I remember one of our Christian Living teachers borrowing VHS tapes of Evangelion from us. With the currently releases, I have to agree that they are geared towards specific otakus and they are just trying to maintain the fanbase they've created; It's the fanservice that's selling the show. A lot of ero-games turned anime are quite popular these days but unless you played the game, I think it'll be difficult to appreciate those kinds of shows. I also feel that the disease of hentai anime has started to rub off to the mainstream ones; they have become repetitive. Also, there are some shows that they should have ended when they had the chance.
The giant robot shows that girls watched last year was probably Gundam 00. I watched that series too and it has one of the better stories in the recent Gundam shows. Mech designs were cool and character-wise, the Mesiters and the rest of the cast were good, but I think they were made to look bishie to attract female viewers. And looks like it worked.

It seems that there's going to be a cgi movie made of Gaiking, a manga and anime. The fansub group TV-Nihon subbed a Gaiking anime a few years ago, but I don't think its related to this new movie, and get this, this movie is US made. I'm thinking straight to DVD, but who knows it might not. Its set for a 2011 release.

So, Bleach has finally gotten back to the Arrancar story arc, with a new OP and ED. Looking forward to seeing how this arc progresses, and to finally see the Vizards get into it with the Arrancar.
I haven't watched the last 4 eps of Naruto Shippuden, so I'm beginning to think that I'm getting bored with that one now.
Still keeping up with Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, since its always been a series I like from the first one.
Haven't really found another anime to really watch, since most new stuff is all school-based, and that gets tiresome real quick.

I enjoyed it! But for all the wrong reasons (I.. think?) I've never actually watched Evangelion 8Db
Skip it, watch Bebop instead, profit!

I've seen both endings of Evangelion (Series and movie (as well as Bebop))... wonder what the new Reboot of Evangelion's ending will be like - I've heard it's supposed to be different.

So I saw a topic elsewhere discussing people's favourite anime opening and closing sequences. Some obvious ones were mentioned, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, Death Note, Samurai Champloo, Naruto (ugh), and it got me thinking of my own. And it was only when thinking about it that I remembered watching Kurau : Phantom Memory and what utterly brilliant opening and closing sequences they had. The closing one, particularly because of the song 'Moonlight' just gets me every single time I watch it.

Several of the closings and openings of Bleach - Yui's "Life", Younha's "Houkiboushi", - tops though go to Inuyasha's - Do As Infinity "Fukai Mori" - awesome song.

For classic stuff. That clip for the movie version X 1999 with "X" (X Japan) blowed my mind when I first saw it when I was a kid (I'm sure it did that to a lot of people). X's OP "eX dream" (Myuji) always gets me excited too. I get mesmerised every time I see those red balls merge and turn to light in his hand (I don't say these words often). :P
x opening (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8okYOpUdf0&#)
I might be the only one on this planet that thinks this. Beginning of "Seishun Collection"s chorus (Morning Musume) reminds me of Dragon Ball GT's OP "Dan Dan Kokoro Kikareteku" (Field of View). :P Trivia: The 'GT' in DragonBall GT stands for 'Grand Tour'. Woah~ I just learned that today. :lol:
ZARD version is great too. Miss you~ :heart:

The live action Akira movie looks set to be PG-13 i.e. in the hope of netting more money and a wider audience
Quote
Let’s cut to the chase - -
Albert Hughes, one half of the Hughes Brothers directing duo, did an interview with DC’s Kevin and Josh Movie Show (which was subsequently collected by Film School Rejects) and discussed the live-action AKIRA remake he's attached to. He said that the studio’s telling him upfront that they want this to be a PG-13 movie and he’s looking at that as a challenge to do a dark film that isn’t necessarily graphic (using the DARK KNIGHT as an aspirational model.) Regarding the rumors that AKIRA will be made as a two-part series, he insisted that he doesn’t like sequels and wouldn’t be interested in doing a second AKIRA movie, even if its production went forward.
My first thought when I read this is that a PG-13 AKIRA could be spun with the tagline “Less exploding heads, more walking teddy bears.”
Anyway, I don’t know… this gets back to the column I did about the appeal of live-action versions. Part of the draw of anime is getting to see content that’s often too intense for movies. However, the other edge of that is that there’s also content that’s often better off not rendered in live-action. The psychokinetic gore and mutations in AKIRA look cool when stylized through illustration, but they'd probably be genuinely stomach-churning to watch if they looked realistic. The Hughes Brothers previously directed an adaption of FROM HELL, a graphic novel about Jack the Ripper. The movie was less intense than the comic, to be sure, but the comic is also very, very grisly. I’d really never want to see its gorier portions represented with live actors.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Hughes Brothers’ last movie, THE BOOK OF ELI (which, coincidentally, was an R-rated post apocalyptic story.) I think they’ll make a good movie regardless of the limitations imposed on them, but there’s a question of how worthwhile an AKIRA adaptation will be if it gets toned down and simplified.
Think I will go watch Akira again. Haven't seen it in well over 5 years.

The popular fashion manga and anime by Ai Yazawa, Paradise Kiss, have been confirmed to have a live action movie adaptation starring JDrama stars, Keiko Kitagawa and Mukai Osamu.
In the Paradise Kiss live action movie, Keiko Kitagawa (Pretty Guardian Sailormoon, Buzzer Beat) will play the role of the main character, Hayasaka Yukari, a high school student who is tired of the meaningless and repetitive life that has been forced upon her by her uptight mother; while Mukai Osamu (Hotaru no Hikari 2, BECK) play as Joji Koizumi, an eccentric, handsome, and extremely charismatic student of Yazagaku who has extraordinary talent with a gift for fashion design.
Other cast members for Paradise Kiss live action movie includes Yamamoto Yusuke (Kamen Rider Kabuto, ROOKIES: Graduation), Igarashi Shunji (Ultraman Mebius, ROOKIES), Kaku Kento, Ohmasa Aya, and Kato Natsuki.

I gave up on watching Shigurui : Death Frenzy after 4 episodes. Incredibly self-serious, pretentious and wildly misogynistic. Women in this series have no power whatsoever and are only good for making babies or getting mutilated in the name of sword practice. But mainly I just grew bored of it, it goes at a deliberate pace, by which I mean it is slow as hell. Shame, cause the premise sounded interesting.
Black Lagoon is almost the polar opposite. Man I love this show. Kick ass ladies, explosive action, interesting characters and it doesn't take itself too seriously. The English dub for this is wonderful, so much swearing it's like an art form, with Revy as the artiste. Wouldn't want to piss off Revy at any rate XD

This Akira adaptation just sounds like it's getting worse and worse. Ok so, right off the bat Zac Efron was rumoured to play as Kaneda at one point (http://www.totalfilm.com/news/zac-efron-to-star-in-live-action-akira), but that rumour seems to be disregarded. More disappointinly, someone got their hands on a copy of the script (http://screenrant.com/akira-movie-script-review-uncapie-85448/). So, it's set in Manhattan after it's decimation. Tetsuo has been renamed as Travis. Yet the name Kaneda remains. There's continuity problems and the ending is not satisfactory at all, supposedly it's left open enough to warrant a sequel.
Quote
Yes, Travis (Tetsuo) does expand and morph into a ballooning human amoeba, but only for one short scene. I think we can all agree that this is one of the landmark, crucial scenes that needs to be in the film, yet it’s only a mere fragment.

Let talk about the perfect way to distinct from anime elite from losers. The following rules give a hundred percent answer to the question whether a person is loser: 1. Anyone who looks phony - loser. 2. Any anime about kids - phony. (Evangelion is not phony, because it is Ray, and Ray - the best thing that happened in the anime. Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya is not phony, because it is Yuki - the best thing that happened in the anime after Ayanami Rey) 3. Any anime with big eyes and colorful triangular faces - phony. 4. Any anime with humor - phony, because the Japanese have very strange sense of humor in the world. 5. Anime which seriously violating the laws of physics or logic, unless the fantastic / utopia world - phony. 6. There are currently 30 titles, which are win. There will be no more than 50 titles for all the existence of anime. The person has the right to see not more than 100 non-win titles. Anyone peeking over 100 titles - loser, the opinion of such a person can be ignored. Anyone peeking over 600 titles do not have any rights, and his opinion can be ignored on any issue. Sample wins: Evangelion, Cowboy bebop, Berserk, Darker than black, Hellsing, Trigano, Ergo Proxy, Lain serial experiments. Examples of phony: Faith Stay Knight, wolf rain, angelic rhythms Railgun.
WARNING: even a neutral attitude to phony titles make you loser, negative attitude is allowed only!
Godesses: Ray, Yuki, Lain. Everyone who does not believe their godness - loser. Everyone who does not like kudere - loser.
If you don't want to be loser, you have no choice but to follow these rules.

It's a cool "app", I wonder if there is one already in place. Saw a AT&T CM here in USA a few days ago, it could do the same, I'm wondering if it actually already exist. If so, what the name of the app?

Apps that name buildings and areas of interest. Google Goggles scanning/identifying stuff. And Google Sky Map, naming constellations. Stuff that's already been around a year or 2. And since apple has stuck cameras on their stuff, the race will be going faster.

Your favorite DC Comics character might be gay. In an interview at the Kapow Comics Convention, DC Comics Co-Publisher Dan DiDio said that a "prominent" DC Comics character will soon come out of the closet, reversing an earlier statement where he had said DC was more likely to insert a new LGBT character than "out" an existing one. Twitter users have cited Aquaman and Wonder Woman as the most likely candidates. They won't be the first gay characters in comics, though. "It's sad when DC is playing catch-up to Archie. And the entire comics industries of Japan and Europe," tweeted @Joe_Hunter. Once they start catching up, though, it could happen in a Flash.

Saga by Brian K Vaughn fave comic book at the moment at the moment . great plot, awesome characters and some beautiful art(though crazy as shit at times).
haven't read the 9th issue yet but here's the cover(more the Will and the Stalk):
Trying to get more followers for this awesome comic :P
With the recent influx of superhero movies, I imagine there are a lot more people that are interested in the genre. If you are one of them and looking for something new, give Invincible a try. The media might be different, but the consumption is very similar to that of a movie or tv show.
Invincible is comparable to the marvel or dc universe except it's on steroids. Instead of trying to convince you myself, ManFromViltrum from reddit explains it quite nicely:
Invincible has maintained a level a quality rarely seen in comics. It has been entertaining and interesting for almost 10 years now. Its rare for a superhero comic to only have one writer and two artists for a 10 year span. It really is everything you could want out of a superhero comic without the fear of retcons. The characters are well written and interesting, there is always at least 5 plots moving forward, and most importantly, shit happens and not usually the way you would expect.
My problem with Marvel and DC is they're afraid to do anything that would make a lasting change to their universe. God forbid you kill an intellectual property that could sell a couple action figures down the road. They kill Captain America but as soon as a movie is on the horizon hes back. It's bullshit, why would anyone care if its not going to matter even 6 months down the road. Thats why Invincible is the best, its the single vision from a creator that owns the characters, he dosent have an editorial staff telling him what he can and cant do. I pick up an issue filled with dread and excitment because I know this could be it for one of my favorite long running characters. It just feels like it actuallly matters you know? In a way DC and Marvel comics never will.
With that said, I'd highly recommend reading up to issue #13 before deciding whether you'll continue or not. Getting the "Invincible Ultimate Collection Hardcover Vol. 1" is the way I started.

Started watching Gundam Build Fighters too XD
I thought that kids were the target audience but damn, the show has some of the best Gundam fight scenes.
I like how they're pimping the Kampfer, it's one of my favorite designs and I don't like how it got killed in War in the Pocket.
No one has tried to use God Gundam yet? XD

Well it is a 25-minute commercial to promote their model kits. :lol:
Unless there's gonna be a second season, I see that the series is nearing the end. :(
On the bright side Gundam: The Origin, an updated version of the original series, will hopefully be airing later this year or 2015.

I started watching 宇宙戦艦ヤマト2199 (Space Battleship Yamato 2199) - I've never watched the original Space Battleship Yamato, but I've always been intrigued by the artwork. I saw lots of ads and displays for 2199 in a lot of record/DVD shops in Tokyo last summer, but never got around to checking out the remake until now.
I'm usually not a huge fan of big space/military/tactical/war series, but this has got me absolutely hooked. I'm not quite sure what sets this apart from shows I've abandoned in the past. The production value is amazing, though - the artwork is beautiful, and the soundtrack is awesome. The episode progression/story so far actually reminds me quite a lot of the first season of the Battlestar Galactica reboot. It's very character driven and engaging.

Yeah, Akira Toriyama-san. We felt the exact same way when we watched the Majin Buu arc. :lol:
Quote
In a comment from Dragon Ball original creator Akira Toriyama read at the completion conference and photo session for the newest series of Dragon Ball Z Kai, the manga creator revealed that since he wrote the Majin Buu saga, he has lost the want to draw battle manga.
He admitted the fact, saying: The greatest enemy fight in “Kai” is the sublime face-off with Majin Buu, and Majin Buu was also the final enemy in Dragon Ball's weekly manga serialization. The final enemy is round, strong, and very persistent! ...It was such a repetitious and violent fight that even me, the person drawing the manga, came to hate continuing the fight. Now that I've become an old man with high blood pressure and a liking for bland foods, I will not draw this kind of fighting again. Actually, I've lost the want to draw fighting manga ever since [the Majin Buu saga].

^ Yep. No more 616 universe (mainstream comics). No more 1610 universe (Ultimates comics). No more multiverse.
Judging from Post-Secret Wars solicits, it looks like "All-New All-Different Marvel" will combine the 616 universe with the Ultimate universe, although it seems to be primarily Earth-616 with some elements of Ultimate Earth.
The multiverse still exists since a new ongoing series will depict the various Spider-heroes from different universes teaming up.

I knew it was inevitable, but I didn't think in a few years I won't be seeing Andrea Romano as voice director for any upcoming cartoons. :( I don't think I can list all the cartoons that she has worked on. Most likely I have seen them all. :lol: Whenever the credits come up, I always check if her name shows up under voice director. It reassures me that the voice acting is at its very best.
I'm so glad to have met her at NYCC last year. I hope whoever she decides to continue her work live up to her legacy.
